The Ortovox Switchback 27L carries everything you need without slowing you down

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:


"I have been rotating the Ortovox Switchback 27L into my ski touring kit and it has quickly become my go-to for days where I need enough volume to pack smart without carrying extra weight up the skin track. The contoured shoulder straps distribute the load well even when I am moving fast, and the ski carry system keeps my skis stable and out of the way on bootpacking sections. At under two pounds it disappears on your back in a way that larger packs simply cannot."


The best pack for a long day in the mountains is the one you stop thinking about after the first hour, and the Ortovox Switchback 27L earns that kind of trust quickly. At just under two pounds, it carries enough for a full day on the skin track or a loaded trail without ever feeling like it is working against you.


Ortovox built the Switchback 27L around recycled nylon that holds up to the kind of repeated, hard use that comes with seasons spent moving through terrain, pairing it with contoured shoulder straps and an adjustable waist belt that keep the load dialed and comfortable across long vertical days. The ski carry system makes the transition from boot to ski seamless, gear loops handle the extras, and the clean top-access design keeps the pack organized without unnecessary complexity. At 27 liters it lands in the sweet spot between fast-and-light and genuinely capable, versatile enough to move from a resort day to a backcountry objective to a travel bag without asking you to repack your approach to adventure.
